lyrics

RIVER

We were once, we were wise electric tear drops
But patience is something they don’t sell
And the push, shot out in vain, feeling the strain now
When over the banks your river swells

It’s wash, it’s a wild river rolling
Over the fields where devas dwell
Intertwined, and up in your mind it’s ever colliding
Up trough the spring your rhythms fell

Oh, take me as I am for now
Yeah, you’re the only reason I’m here at all

In the place that I once knew
Shades of eden over you
In the space between your lips
Where each moment’s liquid drips

Life is dangerous, not to worry
That’s just wasting time
And your cells are warm
Nothing precious, endless beauty
How could it be wrong
And your safe for once
Feel the rain, it falls and drains into the rivers waiting arms
Your rain, it falls and drains into the rivers waiting arms

In the place that I once knew
Blessed eden overthrew
In the space between your hips
Where each moments nectar drips
